Ok, so tell me about the sheep. I notice that it doesn't look too happy.
Neither would you if you were about to have your throat cut! It's on its way to the altar to be sacrificed to one of the gods.
Gods? Which gods?

Good question. In those days, folk thought that any power outside their control must be a god. So one of the ancient Greeks reckoned there were about 30,000 to choose from. But they were not all of equal importance. There were only twelve main ones. |
